A funky rock lesson. Ligatures, Alternate picking, Vibrato, Slides and Palm muting.

Welcome to my first lesson with electric guitar. It's a solo in A dorian key, in the style of hard rock/heavy guitar.

Today's lesson will focus on using the #4 Dorian mode in a modulation context. The backing track is based on an E min7th chord going into an E add 9 #11 chord.

Uses the Dorian scale in the key of A with some added chromatic notes to create a jazzy bebop type of improvisation. Using chromatic notes can expand your playing in a fabulous way.

Learn a solo over a modal progression where all chords are on the dorian mode.

Covers basics of the Dorian mode: using A Dorian. This mode is pretty much like a minor scale with major 6th interval so you might want to look at it that way for better overview and recognizing.

Welcome to a lesson designed to outline the usage of each mode in a given context. Learning theory can, to say the least, be a little boring - but it is essential if you want to deepen your knowledge and connection with music and improvisation.
